If you think of it as its own game its pretty good, but if you think of it as a sequel... it just looks like they haven't even tried. You can't not go back to it, you're a Big Daddy, yet for the sake of damage reduction you may aswell be a Splicer. I wouldn't consider it a waste of money, since £21 isn't too bad, but you just can't help but wonder if they thought no-one would notice...

Nice... that violin music at the end really got annoying. Atmospheric does not apply when you repeat the same music FOR OVER AN HOUR!
I must say at least the research in this game is better. I remember spamming snapshots of every enemy i came across while i lunged at me till it ran out of points, then killing it ><

and yet the houdini splicers are a real pain to do as they vanish before you can do much to them, unless your able to freeze them before they port.
Just completed it after 3 sessions - way too quick for my liking 
It just doesnt seem as grand as the 1st game. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed playing it but it there wasn't much depth (ho ho) to the storyline and it felt like it was over way too soon. In summary:
+ Better use of plasmids and upgrading of them
+ Graphics are a slight improvement over the 1st game
- Poor storyline
- No real boss ending
- Over way too quickly
- GFWL enabled
Again like people have already said - this is more akin to a addon than a standalone project and simply does not achieve all it could have. Shame really as this was one of the games I was most looking forward to this year - I hope I get some luck with the others coming out! I have no interest in the MP section of the game and shall think twice before deciding to pre-order the next installment (if there is one!).
6/10

Can't play this anymore. The mouse lag in menu's is putting me off. When ever I go into any menu in sp, the mouse lags like crazy!
Is there a fix for this? Its driving me nuts as I really like the gameplay but this is just too annoying.
Also, why is the menu in MP better than the SP menu? what the foxtrot?

Pretty disappointed with this at the start after Bioshock (2nd best game ever for me) then I got to Ryan Amusements. Now I'm really starting to get into it. It really is like being back in Rapture but with the fighting and gameplay even better than before. I wonder did he deliberately make the openeing levels a bit meh to help escalate things later. Leaving work early for this later, I'm getting excited again.
I am really enjoying this, but two things are making me annoyed:-
I am a huge Big Daddy with a massive drill and yet it takes me 3-4 hits to kill a splicer, whereas they are armed with a spanner or bit of pipe and whack me twice and I die.
Also the respawning is starting to wind me up. Did a long corridor type section and remembered there was some Eve back at the beginning, headed back to find a Splicer had appeared from nowhere.
Anyway, still early days so hopefully I will get more powerful.

yeah, I do not feel like a powerful big daddy. I feel weaker than I did in the first game, where I was some random who washed up at the doors.
I agree the damage system is kind of annoying considering the hype of been a big daddy but hopefully someone will make a mod to change it.
changing it = making game even easier than it already is
Exactly what mine did.
Me aswell, was raging, im getting a lot of crashes in this game, and everytime it crashes im having to reasign all my keys etc, very very annoying.
It has to be done... i'd rather the game be easy but consistant than slightly harder and annoyingly inconsistant. I want to run upto some random enemy wielding a pistol and beat it to death with a drill while taking minimal damage because its ALONE. Not get shot to pieces while closing the distance and have to spam first aid kits.
They are adorable
Sitting there with there little needle, stabbing a corpse in the head while all around Splicers assault her protector and enemies fall to the ground with spears through there head and on fire...Reminds me of the 'Meet the Engineer' video for TF2
I went to grab one of my spears and hit F only to save the little sister. The spear was on one of the ducts. You can only get ADAM twice with each little sister and I had only used her once. Got really angry and quit the game. You do not want to know when my last save was lol.
